Module Web Applications - Pierre Dubois, Chief Executive and President, Requeamfrancis
DysoWeb is an OSGi-based platform that provides modularity to web applications at runtime. It uses OSGi bundles to modularize web applications and allows bundles to be dynamically installed, started, stopped and updated. This provides flexibility and dynamicity compared to traditional monolithic web applications. DysoWeb acts as a servlet filter that runs on any web container and uses an OSGi-based composition engine to combine bundles into a single modular web application. It allows standard web applications and frameworks like Struts to be modularized without any code changes.
Responsive Web Design (RWD) allows for building websites that automatically adapt to different screen sizes and devices. It uses techniques like flexible grids, media queries, and responsive images. RWD was coined in 2010 and combines existing tools to make sites that are device-agnostic. Media queries allow targeting styles to specific device conditions, flexible grids use relative units instead of pixels, and responsive images set max-widths to 100%. Bootstrap is a popular framework that uses CSS and JavaScript to make responsive, mobile-first projects. It includes a grid system, components, and customization options.

Browser Fuzzing with a Twist (and a Shake) -- ZeroNights 2015Jeremy Brown
The web client is critical software to secure from any perspective. No matter if you're an organization or a casual client, you're typically just as vulnerable as anyone else. OSes are often supplemented with hardening toolsets or built-in mitigations as an extra measure to avoid compromise, but as with all things, they aren't completely solid either. Thus the need for systems that break systems, some of which deploy fuzzing and almost all of them work to find implementation bugs. Browser fuzzing has been explored and improved in many different ways over the past several years. In this presentation, we'll be primarily talking about a mutation engine that provides a somewhat novel technique for finding bugs in a still-ripe attack surface: the browser's rendering engine. This technique has the flexibility to be applied even more broadly than browsers, for example, there's initial support for fuzzing PDF readers. We'll also be discussing the tooling and infrastructure areas of the process, detailing what's needed to build a system that will scale and enable your fuzzing strategies to be successful. Finally, we can conclude the talk with some incubation results and how you can start making use of these fuzzing techniques today to find the bugs you need to exploit browsers or identify and fix the code responsible for each vulnerability.

Grand Central Dispatch (GCD) was created by Apple to make it easier to write concurrent code for multi-core systems. It shifts thread and task management from apps to the operating system. Units of work are described as blocks of code, while queues organize blocks based on execution needs. GCD has a multi-core engine that assigns blocks from app queues to OS-managed threads, removing the need for apps to directly use threads. Blocks are lightweight anonymous functions that can capture state and be passed between queues and threads for asynchronous execution. Common queues include the main queue for UI updates and global queues for general-purpose work.

Shutterfly implemented MongoDB to address problems with their existing metadata storage architecture using an Oracle database, including slow time to market, high costs, performance issues, and lack of scalability. They developed a new data architecture using MongoDB for its simple API, open source software, and ability to partition and distribute data. Initial results showed a 500% improvement in costs and a 900% improvement in performance and latency.
Search Architecture at Evernote: Presented by Christian Kohlschütter, EvernoteLucidworks
Evernote stores over 3 billion notes from over 100 million users worldwide. To improve search performance and allow upgrades to newer Lucene versions, Evernote rearchitected their search system. They separated search code from the data storage, allowed multiple Lucene versions to run concurrently on each machine, and automatically migrated each user's index to the default version without downtime. This reduced disk I/O by 81% and allowed compression techniques to further reduce storage needs by terabytes and input/output by petabytes each week.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
